"Handstand" by Els van Westerloo symbolises the risk of making no bones about being different while alluding to the normalisation of the status of homosexual humankind in society. After all, anyone can perform your basic handstand. In a manner of speaking, this bronze could be interpreted as a metaphor of a lengthy and cumbersome process the outcome of which is that although gays are eventually recognised as just as ordinary as other people, they first have to achieve exceptional things in order to convince their non-gay counterparts. |
